                                  Kaikoura Unchained

                                  Kaikoura had always been a legendary mountain biking destination for us, but the riding was restricted to the very narrow S & M band width. Now it's been reimagined with the Kaiterau Loop on Mt Fyffe and the frothing Middle Hill M.T.B.

                                  Ground Effect graphic designer and creative whizz Liam Crozier reflects and philosophises after a hard 'n' fast masochistic winter sortie into the Canterbury High Country on the Ashburton Lakes Brevet.

                                  Bikes 'n' Beer - Beervet 2020

                                  Fifteen blokes on tour; varying interpretations of gravel-appropriate bikes; endless ruminations on tyre width; progress measured in pubs and pints; and cols marked with a wee dram. What could possibly go wrong?

                                  Inclement Tripping on the OGR

                                  Deane Parker, along with mates Muel and Luke, embark on a return trip on the Old Ghost Road in the face of a questionable weather forecast. They suffered a full-noise tempest on day one but were rewarded with two magic days to follow as the storm quickly moved through. Dress up, stoke the fire and check out their chilly video.

                                  The Doubtful-Hope Loop

                                  Deane and his faithful accomplice Muel tackle a gruelling three-day loop on uncertain trails and in uncertain weather - traversing the South Island's main divide from West to East, and back again.

                                  Dave and Ditte roll their camper van down the West Coast from Karamea to Ross - notching up some magic mid winter campsites and crisp 'n' clear mid winter rides along the way.

                                  Post-lockdown time warps us back 20 or 30 years to a quieter NZ. Jamie Nicoll suss's out some local adventures to fill your bucket list. First up, an accessible get-away to the upper Hurunui River and its legendary hot pools.

                                  A big round of Dutch cheese was moving up the South Island as the C19 elevator dropped down to level two. Ditte and I popped back into travel mode with a mighty sigh of relief and exuberance for freedom. First stop the Heaphy.

                                  A Brief History of 80's Mtb, Part 1

                                  Dave Mitchell was amongst the small clan of kiwis who embraced the then embryonic pursuit of mountain biking back in the eighties. The fashion was appalling - a mash of tramping kit, sagging lycra and sometimes even gaiters over leather walking boots. Shocks, clipless pedals, disk brakes and dropper posts were yet to be imagined.
